# Teaser
The **ThemeWare® "Teaser"** is independent of its CMS block. You can use the teaser in other CMS blocks too. Just try out different blocks (for example with a different number of columns) to personalise your Shopping Experience.
The teaser displays an image with a caption bar at the bottom containing a title, subtitle and optionally an arrow icon.
